As the Premier League season intensifies, Liverpool has found itself propelled back into the title race, largely thanks to the exceptional form of Luis Díaz.
The Colombian winger has been a pivotal force in their attack, contributing directly to ten goals in 18 matches—scoring eight and providing two assists—across 1,121 minutes of play. His clinical performances have been crucial for Arne Slot’s side, as they chase another championship title.
Díaz’s efficiency in front of goal is something to behold. With an impressive conversion rate of 61.5% (excluding penalties), he stands as the most effective attacker in the Premier League this season. From 13 chances, he has netted eight goals, which places him well ahead of his counterparts in terms of scoring efficiency. This remarkable feat places him ahead of high-caliber players such as Heung-min Son, Dominic Solanke, Erling Haaland, and Alexander Isak—names that are also regularly featured in the Premier League’s top goal-scoring charts.
In terms of raw numbers, Díaz is closely followed by João Pedro of Brighton, who has scored five goals from nine chances, resulting in a 57.1% conversion rate. Brentford’s Yoane Wissa rounds out the top three, with nine goals at a 52.4% conversion rate. These numbers highlight the efficiency of Díaz, who has not only been scoring at a high rate but also making his opportunities count when they come his way.

If we include penalty kicks in the calculation, Díaz slips to third place in the overall rankings. João Pedro moves into the lead in this category, boasting a 62.5% conversion rate. Justin Kluivert of AFC Bournemouth is in second, with a superb 66.6% conversion rate from nine chances, having scored six goals. Meanwhile, Díaz’s high-profile teammate, Mohamed Salah, also appears in the top 10, further underlining Liverpool’s attacking prowess this season.
Across all competitions, Díaz’s influence extends beyond the Premier League. In the UEFA Champions League, he has contributed three goals and an assist, while also adding a solitary strike in the Carabao Cup. With 26 appearances this season, Díaz has netted 12 goals and provided three assists in total, marking a stellar individual campaign so far.
Liverpool fans, as well as neutrals, will be watching closely to see how Díaz performs in this high-stakes match, with his form continuing to be a crucial element in Liverpool’s aspirations to reclaim the Premier League title. His next goal-scoring opportunity may just be around the corner, and with his current rate of efficiency, he will surely be one to watch as the season progresses.
